There is a whole literature out there which somehow reflects this. I'll try to find a birth date and I'll get back to you.<BR/><BR/>Hi lpb<BR/>Thanks for visiting. I've heard of Julia McNair Knight, but don't have any of her books. I'll look out for that one. Thank you for the recommendation. Oh, if you enjoy old cook books, homemaking books etc, pop over to Louise's site, she's got a treasure trove of stuff over there.Dulce Domumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835872248177497717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-89255298638048617682008-07-17T13:28:00.000-07:002008-07-17T13:28:00.000-07:00Great post!

It is very old, and my copy is falling apart, but if you ever by chance see one, get it. It's great!<BR/><BR/>Blessings<BR/><BR/>Linda<BR/>p.s.

So many domestic books of the era touched on the subject ever so gently but shied away from true encouragement. <BR/><BR/>If you could find out a specific date for anything to do with her such as her birthday or anything, I would love to include her on my calendar and link to your wonderful post.~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.com
